Childhood to Manhood: Ingredients for Young African American Men

Devin D. Brown is one of many African American men who grew up without guidance from a father. He had to learn from his own mistakes and his own losses. While experience has taught him well, he wrote this book to help families who want to prevent African American young men from making mistakes in the first place. In clear, candid language, he explores how to: • maintain a cultural connection with the black community even if you live in a white neighborhood; • encourage children to embrace Jesus Christ as a critical part of their life; • teach children right versus wrong; • recognize and fight systemic racism. The author also shares the lessons he learned about the three W's – wealth, work ethic, and women – through losing jobs and other failures. Knowing about these three things are vital to the survival of African American men.
